Thanks Sam I think this is a little further up the slope from where they have previously been recorded. Has it moved in or is it a remnant survivor of a low level immediate population?

It'd be hard to say to be honest. However, given the condition of the surrounding area (lots of non-ideal habitat dominated by noxious weeds), I'd say low level immediate population. It feels less likely that they've dispersed across the 100's of meters of noxious weeds.
